Senator Abetz has reservations on NEG10:36

Liberal Senator Eric Abetz says it is too early to lock himself in for either supporting or opposing the government’s National Energy Guarantee.
The NEG is a market-mechanism that will force retailers to source electricity that meets both reliability and emissions reductions targets.
The comments come after Coalition Minister, Keith Pitt considers crossing the floor to oppose the energy policy.

Senator Abetz told Sky News the guiding principle for the NEG must be cheaper power prices.
